Entry Guidelines and Pricing

Who can enter

Banking Technology Awards are open to banks and financial institutions worldwide - i.e. for projects, implementations, partnerships and other initiatives at/by banks and financial institutions. These Awards are not for vendors’ products, they are for projects that might involve vendors’ products. The Awards entrants, winners and highly commended are banks/FIs, not vendors. Of course, wherever applicable, vendors and their products/input will be named and commended, and vendors are very welcome to attend the Awards ceremony.

PR agencies, consultants, vendors and other industry participants can put an entry in on behalf of a bank or financial institution but must have prior approval from them.

No off-the-record/unnamed entries will be considered (but if you apply, you will still be charged).

Multiple entries

More than one category may be entered for the same project/person/team.
